Var. sBgrota. (Plate CXV. figs. 3 & 4.) 



c?. Much smaller than the typical form, olivaceous brown instead of reddish castaneous, 

 and with a much more feeble rosy reflection ; the markings, however, exactly similar. Expanse 

 of wings G3-72 millim. 



$ . Nearly as large as the typical form, but with all the darker parts golden testaceous 

 and the paler parts whitish. Expanse of wings 75 millim. 



Darjiling {Lidderdale). 



This form was well represented in Dr. Lidderdale's collection, and was kept separate from 

 typical S. restilutaria ; there can, however, be little doubt, from the identity of its pattern 

 with that of Walker's species, that it is at most not more than a seasonal form. 



Sarcinodes equilhiearia. (Plate CXV. figs. 5 & G.) 

 Mergana equilhiearia, Walker, Cat. Lep. Eet. xxi. p. 292. n. 1 ( I860). 



Silvery whitish or pink ; wings crossed by parallel oblique and nearly equidistant olivaceous 

 or red-brown stripes, three across the primaries and two across the secondaries, the third 

 with a clear gamboge-yellow inner edge ; halfway between the third stripe and the outer 

 margin is a zigzag olivaceous line, the outer angles of which are filled with a white dot and 

 terminate in a black point ; the external area (bounded by the third oblique stripe) is, in the 

 pink variety, tinted with golden brown, and the costal border deep dull red : thorax in front 

 and head brownish. Under surface of wings with grey- speckled whitish basal area, some- 

 times tinted with pink, bounded by an oblique brown line; remainder of wing grey, clouded 

 with yellow and olivaceous, darkest in the pink variety ; a series of blackish dots on the 

 veins at a short distance beyond the oblique line. Body below whitish or flesh-pink. 

 Expanse of wings G0-G5 millim.

<? . Sericeous white, minutely striated with testaceous; wings crossed in the middle by 

 an irregularly sinuated pale ochreous stripe; a sharply defined black stripe angulated on the 

 lower radial of primaries and the discoidal fold of secondaries, and followed by a belt of pale 

 ochreous spots ; a marginal series of pale ochreous lunate spots more or less black-speckled
